Not to be regarded as just a ‘DJ’, Benji Boko displays a unique talent, describing his show as “completely improvised, off the cuff, live remixing.” His live set-up resembles something from the flight deck of the Star Ship Enterprise; in which he has the ability to re-ignite any tune, taking his audience with him, into new dimensions.

‘Remixes Vol.2’ is an energetic piece of work, drawing from influences across the board. The album opens with a remix of one of his favourite hip hop tracks of all time – Jay-Z’s ‘99 Problems.’ Boko twists the track into an infectious club banger infused with a deep blues vibe which hints at the music he was bought up on. The album then continues into a re-edited remix of Little Dragon’s ‘Little Man’ which sees Benji collaborating with elusive producer Boy In a Movie. Following on to feature remixes of Roots Manuva, Daft Punk and Lazy Habits, the album ultimately climaxes with his explosive remix of Missy Elliot’s classic, ‘Lick Shots.’ A slick album exploring everything from blues, soul, hip hop to funk, the collective piece is sure to keep you glued to the dancefloor.

Things started getting out of control for Benji Boko back in 2010 when he guided 17,000 revelers into the New Year at the London O2 Arena, alongside Deadmau5, Justice and Calvin Harris. Since then, things have continued to escalate – his debut album “Beats, Treats & All Things Unique”, was released worldwide via Brighton based label Tru Thoughts and included collaborations with Maxi Jazz (Faithless) and Ricky Rankin (Roots Manuva).

RUSKO has signed to OWSLA! On 2nd July the dubstep badboy unites with one of dance music’s hottest labels for the “Lift Me Up” EP.

To kick things off and celebrate this devilish partnership, both parties have agreed to give away the drum n’ bass/Hip-Hop hybrid “Takeoff” for free via his social media networks beginning , Tuesday, 4th June. How cool is that? And Rusko even put some Jay-Z on there for ya.

Getting into the EP, the title track is Rusko’s signature combination of frantic BPM’s and melodies-meets-a slow, deep drop. “Murda Sound” pulls in elements of Hip-Hop, drum n’ bass, ragga and rave for a multi genre bomb, before RUSKO changes things up with the EP’s most beautiful track “Starlight feat. Claes Rosen.” It’s a gorgeous, classic drum n’ bass track that throws back to the genre’s 90’s heyday.
